However, before anyone could take a closer look, the creature suddenly moved! I saw more than a dozen tentacles suddenly straightening out. The speed was not very fast, but a large amount of rays and gravel flew out, covering the two spaceships that were very close to each other for a while. The spaceship was completely destroyed!
"Should we continue to send spaceships to explore this life?" Mu Dekun hesitated for a moment. You know, although this exploration is just an attempt, it also carries 5,000 unmanned spacecraft and 200 spacecraft with a distance of 30 kilometers.
Of course, 5,000 unmanned spaceships are used for "sacrifice", but the cost of building five thousand spaceships is not low, and if this exploration yields nothing, everyone will not be able to live with it.
"Continue to send the spaceship, let's see if we can communicate with this kind of life!" Tang Wenying is different. It is difficult to encounter such a life. If we give up, we will be sorry to the audience, our ancestors, our country, and... ourselves!
"We will send three more unmanned spacecraft to see the attack and response range of this life. Then we will get closer to see if we can get in touch or even cooperate." Zhong Xinghui also agreed, "Don't forget, in this nebula, there are things like this There are a lot of lives. If you can establish contact and cooperate with such beings, that will be the biggest gain! A few spaceships are nothing, the rear has stopped building newer spaceships, so there is no need to worry!
By the way, another unmanned spacecraft will follow behind these three unmanned spacecrafts to take pictures from another angle. ”
Scientific exploration and military affairs are two different things!
Soldiers always want to preserve their strength. Try to reduce unnecessary casualties as much as possible. If according to Mu Dekun's temperament, he has activated the weapon now and kills this monster first, then he will have plenty of time to study it.
But Zhong Xinghui and Tang Wenying are different. As scholars, when encountering such a situation, they will of course do their best to research and explore. Also, for those who are new here, it’s better to be careful. Who knows whether such beings exist in groups? The universe is really amazing. It's really too vast. There is too much uncertainty and too much wonder. In the face of these existences, it is better to be careful; don't accidentally ruin something big.
Four more spaceships flew over, three in front and one behind, after a flight of tens of billions of kilometers. Reached the target again. Because of experience. This time the flight was very cautious. Various detectors, etc., have all been turned on.
Finally, one million kilometers closer to the monster. It aroused its vigilance; at this time, the monster could be seen vaguely, which was a little blurry because of the thick nebula surrounding it. But it can be seen that this monster has 42 tentacles, forming a pompom-like monster, slowly hovering in space, constantly devouring the surrounding nebulae, and it can be seen that it is growing little by little!
Secondly, its center is actually a 500-kilometer planet. It looks like it has barely reached the limit of fluid stillness and is barely spherical. However, the surface is full of pits, with many depressions more than ten kilometers in size.
One million kilometers away, the three spacecraft slowly stopped, and then slowly circled around the monster under the influence of weak gravity. However, due to the dense surrounding nebulae, the speed continued to slow down, and they had to occasionally start their engines to accelerate.
Tang Wenying began to get busy, "The monster's largest diameter, that is, the circling diameter, is 3112 kilometers; its height is 2056 kilometers. It is not yet certain whether it has intelligence or instinct.
At the end of each tentacle, there is a vortex of about ten kilometers, which seems to be the embodiment of concentrated energy. These vortices have thin currents passing through the limbs and the planet inside the body, which is the brain connection. So it can be seen that this should be a rigorous life.
Temperature exploration, the average temperature of the nebula is minus 17 degrees. The temperature in the star field here is really high. The body temperature of this monster is minus 17 degrees at the edge, and the temperature at the inner core, where the planet is located, is actually 4 degrees.
The monster's body is filled with current, voltage and electric fields. The highest voltage is the vortex at the end of the tentacles, which should be the monster's eyes and senses. The voltage reached tens of millions of volts, followed by the location of the brain planet, which also had tens of millions of volts, but slightly lower.
Okay, let’s start trying to communicate. This monster's thinking should rely on electromagnetic fields. We first emit electromagnetic waves. ”
Uh-huh...electromagnetic wave emission with friendly signals.
Then...then I saw the monster suddenly agitated, and countless rays shot out from the vortex at the end of the tentacles, flying towards the detector in all directions.
"Damn it, we were saying hello, why did you react so fiercely!" Tang Wenying's face looked a little ugly.
Zhong Xinghui was immersed in his own field: "Fortunately, the defense was strengthened in advance, but even so, the defense was almost broken. Well, the distance was too close to avoid. The attack method is plasma, mixed with radiation and Electric field increase.
What a mysterious attack method. It actually used the plasma in front as the spearhead, and the plasma in the rear formed a voltage increase. Well, this alone is enough investment for this exploration!
Hey, but this monster can't give up. If it dares to attack our spaceship casually, I want to give you some clues! ”
"Wait a minute, Professor Zhong, I have an idea!" Xiao Hao said on the side, "Maybe the other party's communication method is different from what we think. When we emit electrical signals, no matter what the content is, what is emitted is in a certain frequency band. Signal.
But the way this monster communicates is most likely based on the strength of the voltage. Sometimes things are very simple, but we tend to make them complicated! ”
"Hey... the young man is good. Give it a try!" All of a sudden, everyone became interested. If they could get in touch with this monster, it would undoubtedly be a huge help to China's exploration.
Soon, the voltage was adjusted appropriately based on the monster's reaction. Everyone used soft voltage to emit electromagnetic waves and electric field fluctuations, and the monster actually responded to soft voltage and electromagnetic waves. This reaction made everyone excited.
Then the voltage gradually increases and changes continuously until the voltage is increased to tens of millions of volts. During this period, the monster roared, danced, remained indifferent, and several times its whole body was dazzled by electric light, which was so beautiful!
"This is an alternative language!" Tang Wenying frowned and looked at the hundreds of thousands of large and small radio wave arrays collected on the screen, and shook her head regretfully. This thing requires the help of language experts to decipher it. Well, maybe you need help from an electrical expert.
"We have to continue our action. We can't waste time on this monster who doesn't know whether he is intelligent or not. But before we leave, we have to give it a try!" Zhong Xinghui is, after all, the person directly responsible for China's exploration of the nebula. " Adjust the electromagnetic wave of the spacecraft to the band just now, let the monster release the electromagnetic wave for the first time, and let the spacecraft come close to it! ”
"Okay!" Tang Wenying was also excited and wanted to see this strange phenomenon.
As the spacecraft adjusted to that waveband again, the monster did not release the swirling electric light again. Instead, it had three tentacles raised towards the three spacecrafts; it waited until the three spacecrafts approached, and then...swallowed it in one gulp! Then the spacecraft was instantly cut off. Only the backup spacecraft in the distance could transmit this situation back.
"It seems like it's food!" Lu Yu blinked, "Could that one with the electric light be a mockery?"
"Um...it seems that there is a possibility!" Tang Wenying held her chin and considered it for a while, "The more I think about it, the more right I am! This monster should be intelligent, and not low! If it can be proven that this is a joke, at least it will prove that His wisdom is that of our seven or eight-year-old children!”
"This time we want to praise the little good children's shoes. If it hadn't been for the young man's idea, maybe we would have missed this opportunity according to our fixed mindset!" Zhong Xinghui looked at the assistant beside him who was looking at him eagerly, and laughed.
Then he looked at the itinerary and then said, "Obviously we will bypass this monster and move towards the neutron star. It's exciting to think about it. We want to observe the neutron star up close. If we can gain something, it will be beneficial to our country. Technology, make a significant contribution!”
"Okay, let's get around this monster." Mu Dekun put away his playful expression, "Attention everyone, the spacecraft flies vertically upward for 100 million kilometers, and then maintains its original direction. Pay attention, pay attention to detecting radiation in the universe , especially neutron star radiation! ”
"Roger that!" came the reply from each spaceship.
In an instant, the fleet that had stayed for several days started up again.
Professor Zhong Xinghui was lying on the screen, constantly calculating the position of the neutron star based on the detection conditions in front and around him. Because the nebula is too dense, coupled with all kinds of radiation, there is no way to directly observe neutron stars, and we can only rely on empirical calculations. The calculation method was used thousands of years ago to calculate the possible center of gravity based on the influence of gravity and the motion patterns of the surrounding planets.
"According to observations and estimates, this neutron star should be very large, and its mass should be 1.5 times the size of the sun; but calculating the attracted matter around it, then the overall mass of the galaxy formed by this neutron star, or within 5 billion kilometers around the neutron star, should be 1.6 times the size of the sun.
Then its obvious range of influence should exceed 200 billion kilometers. According to previous data, we are now about one trillion kilometers away from the target.
Hell, the nebula world is so dense that the most advanced instruments can only clearly detect a distance of 300 million kilometers! This is no different from being blind in the universe! ”
"Beep beep..." In an instant, a fierce alarm sounded. In just 0.5 seconds, the energy protection layer was lost by more than 60%! This rate of loss has exceeded the danger limit! The dangerous limit is to break through the defense in one second, 0.5 seconds is 50%! But now it has lost 60% in 0.5 seconds, which is far beyond the safety limit.
"Neutron star rays!" Zhong Xinghui's face was gloomy, "Losses reported from all around!
General Mu Dekun, given the current situation, can we continue to conduct detection safely? "Personally, it is recommended to suspend exploration." Let's explore the surrounding situation first. "Mu Dekun's face was also a little pale. (To be continued...)
